Summary

The lower solubility of calcium tartrate, as compared to potassium bitartrate, can explain the differences between the two salts examined. A stability scale of the risk of appearance of calcium tartrate crystals in wine during short storage periods at -2 deg C and long storage periods (in temperature-controlled cellars) at -12 deg C, was determined.
